Wedding video is a fun way to record your special day, capturing memories you will cherish forever. It also offers an opportunity to tell your love story, which can be particularly unique if you include a proposal clip, the first time you saw each other in your wedding attire or something else that was meaningful to you and your partner.

There are many options when it comes to creating your wedding video, including documentary, cinematic and traditional wedding films. Here are five popular choices and what to know about each:

A highlight reel is a short film that contains your favorite moments from the day. It is usually less than two minutes and can be used on social media or as a teaser for your full wedding video. This is a great option to share with guests who may have missed your ceremony, or for those who want to relive the magic of their own big day.

This type of wedding video focuses on candid moments, rather than posed shots. The goal is to capture raw emotions and reactions in a natural, organic way. This can be achieved by filming with a smaller camera, using different angles and experimenting with cinematic techniques. This style of wedding video can be a little more expensive than other options, but it is often well worth the investment for a couple who wants to remember their day in an authentic way.

An extended highlight film is similar to a highlights reel but it is longer, typically more than four minutes. It includes more of the day's events and can be used for your full wedding video or as a teaser.

A same-day edit is a short film that contains a few key highlights from your ceremony and reception. It is a shorter version of your full wedding video and can be used on Instagram or as a wedding website feature.

An interview video is a great way to capture your loved ones' thoughts and feelings about the wedding. This can be done with your parents, siblings or friends and is a beautiful way to celebrate your family and make your wedding more personal.

This is an excellent option for couples who have a lot of children in their families. It can be a fun way to capture their excitement and humor and adds an additional dimension to your wedding video.

Kids say the darndest things and can really lighten the mood on a wedding day. Having them use their smartphones to record funny moments and then create a video scavenger hunt for your guests can be a fun way to keep everyone entertained while adding another level of memories to your wedding video.

Adding music to your wedding video is a classic and timeless way to create a romantic film that will never go out of style. Choose your favourite love song and have it incorporated into your footage to create a wedding movie that will last the test of time.
